    very nice! looks much more balanced then before! :happy:
    I like that you at least have some protein in there now too! I'll bet you felt nice
    and full too huh?

    If you have a nice solid dinner and a little snack you should get close to
    your calories (I hope :wink: )

    Well, your nutrition is better then before, I'm very happy to see that you have
    gotten some real protein (28 grams MUCH better then before :happy: )

    course I would still like to see you have a little more totals wise.
    maybe squeese a snack of some kind between lunch and dinner?

    something with like 200 calories or so? That would probably bring you up to where you should
    be. If you have no ideas I would suggest something like hummos and a veggie.
    good fat, protein, and decent calories (with some fiber mixed in for most veggies too).
    Either that or just have some slightly larger portions for your meals, doesn't need to be much
    with the calories we are talking about. You know, like maybe, add 6 extra wheat thins in with your after dinner snack, add an oz of reduced fat cheese with your lunch, and maybe just throw an extra veggie in with dinner or something like that.

    this sounded a lot more motivating and a lot less like critisism in my head. Sorry for that lis.
    it wasn't meant to be anything but positive!

    I think it's great what you are doing! :flowerforyou:
